Eid al adha.

yay its Eid, but i'm in London. it doesn't really feel much like EID. it only feels like Eid when your around with family * and when u collect loads of money* but hey its still Eid and looking at the bright side no school LOL. I felt like wearing something new this eid. Basically I bought two statement necklaces from New look after giving up finding a Eid outfit from the shops. literally found nothing worth it. so I decided to make my own outfit. I designed a puffed skirt and went to the local Material shop and got my self 2 meters of satin fabric and 1 meter of tutu (for the lining to help the skirt stand) and wore a plain black shirt in order for the necklace to stand out. and here's how it looked.

Details:

Black shirt: Mango

Necklaces : New look

Skirt: By me

Shoes: Graceland

Bag: LV

Cheat the designer!

Today while I was shopping I found a couple of shops inspired by designers in their bags. I'm talking about inspired to an extent they look pretty similar but without the designer name/logo and the eeky price. Most of the bags are the top trend bags.

On the left is a YSL black bag pretty old season. and on the right is the ZARA inspired version costing £109.00

Image 1 of MINI OFFICE CITY BAG from Zara

On the left is the Prada Saffiano mini bag and on the right is the Zara mini city bag costing £29.99

On the left is the Micheal Kors studded Hamilton bag and on the right is the Primark's bag costing less then a quarter of the price £15

on the left is the Prada spring 2012 collection bag and on the right is a Primark's bag costing £18

I could carry on forever comparing designer inspired bags. its good in a way that you can find designer look alike bags for less and still look good. But as designer shops such as Zara they should make their own designs rather than get ideas from other designs.
